What Size Fitting's For This Tubing?

No way of knowing, the " G1/4" " refers to the screw end of the fitting, not the part that attaches to the tubing, which can be of varying sizes.

G1/4 is the threaded side of the fitting that normally connects to the water block/res/pump etc. If you are getting 3/8ID x 1/2OD tubing you just need to get exactly the same dimension fittings. This is an example.

 

EDIT: Sorry my example was a compression fitting for soft tubing and not PETG

You just need the 10/12mm hard compression fittings for that piping

Note: Primochill rigid tubing is not compatible with any of the Bitspower rigid fittings; Primochill rigid tubing is 1/2" OD which is roughly 12.7mm OD.

^ from the link. Logic would dictate that because the tubing linked in the OP is also following a 1/2" OD measurement it would be also be .7mm off, which would not work.

 

Add another reason I hate US measurements to the pile >_>

If your too lazy to click the link it's 3/8 x 1/2 tubing.Will G1/4" Work?

@OP, match the manufacturer's tubing dimensions with the fittings they also sell for said tubing. When dealing with hardline you want to make absolutely sure there is no fitment gap between components, there is no play like with soft tubing.

For the tubing you linked this would seem like the appropriate fitting, http://www.performance-pcs.com/monsoon-chain-gun-hardline-compression-fittings-3-8-x-1-2-chrome.html#Specifications
